Pirate’s Cove mocks a wussy Democrat Congressman for bailing on a town hall because he got one little death threat. John Boehner promises Democrats a “very, very hot summer.” American Power is excited: “Now the Democrats are totally freaking out!”

Too bad they’re not having one of these things in New York — we’ve still got some whistles and bandanas left over from Tompkins Square ’88.

Update: Ha! Anthony Wiener put one over on us, holding an alleged Town Hall with only a couple hours’ public notice, drawing only codgers interested in the $2 lunch. “There were none of the shouting protesters who’ve halted town-hall forums elsewhere,” says a disappointed New York Post.
